xfs: fix xfs_inodegc_stop racing with mod_delayed_work

commit 2254a7396a0ca6309854948ee1c0a33fa4268cec upstream.

syzbot reported this warning from the faux inodegc shrinker that tries
to kick off inodegc work:

This warning corresponds to this code in __queue_work:

	/*
	 * For a draining wq, only works from the same workqueue are
	 * allowed. The __WQ_DESTROYING helps to spot the issue that
	 * queues a new work item to a wq after destroy_workqueue(wq).
	 */
	if (unlikely(wq->flags & (__WQ_DESTROYING | __WQ_DRAINING) &&
		     WARN_ON_ONCE(!is_chained_work(wq))))
		return;

For this to trip, we must have a thread draining the inodedgc workqueue
and a second thread trying to queue inodegc work to that workqueue.
This can happen if freezing or a ro remount race with reclaim poking our
faux inodegc shrinker and another thread dropping an unlinked O_RDONLY
file:

Thread 0	Thread 1	Thread 2

xfs_inodegc_stop

				xfs_inodegc_shrinker_scan
				xfs_is_inodegc_enabled
				<yes, will continue>

xfs_clear_inodegc_enabled
xfs_inodegc_queue_all
<list empty, do not queue inodegc worker>

		xfs_inodegc_queue
		<add to list>
		xfs_is_inodegc_enabled
		<no, returns>

drain_workqueue
<set WQ_DRAINING>

				llist_empty
				<no, will queue list>
				mod_delayed_work_on(..., 0)
				__queue_work
				<sees WQ_DRAINING, kaboom>

In other words, everything between the access to inodegc_enabled state
and the decision to poke the inodegc workqueue requires some kind of
coordination to avoid the WQ_DRAINING state.  We could perhaps introduce
a lock here, but we could also try to eliminate WQ_DRAINING from the
picture.

We could replace the drain_workqueue call with a loop that flushes the
workqueue and queues workers as long as there is at least one inode
present in the per-cpu inodegc llists.  We've disabled inodegc at this
point, so we know that the number of queued inodes will eventually hit
zero as long as xfs_inodegc_start cannot reactivate the workers.

There are four callers of xfs_inodegc_start.  Three of them come from the
VFS with s_umount held: filesystem thawing, failed filesystem freezing,
and the rw remount transition.  The fourth caller is mounting rw (no
remount or freezing possible).

There are three callers ofs xfs_inodegc_stop.  One is unmounting (no
remount or thaw possible).  Two of them come from the VFS with s_umount
held: fs freezing and ro remount transition.

Hence, it is correct to replace the drain_workqueue call with a loop
that drains the inodegc llists.
